Disklavier

There aren't really files on these CDs - the ".cda" files you see are an
abstraction created by Windows when you attempt to view the directory of
an audio CD.

If your CDs have accompaniment, there's no way to convert them to MIDI
or ESEQ files preserving the accompaniment audio, as those formats do
not support it.   Instead, you would want to rip the CD tracks to FLAC
format; a good tool for this is Exact Audio Copy:

This would give you tagged files for each song which you could then
stream to the Disklavier using suitable music jukebox software, such as
the excellent Foobar2000: http://www.foobar2000.org

Both tools are free for non-commercial use.

Disklavier CD tracks should not be ripped to MP3 format, because its
lossy compression distorts the piano control signal too severely, making
playback unreliable.
